The Manchester United academy graduate Angelo Henriques has signed a 5-year deal with the Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb.

The 21-year-old was sent on a loan deal to the same club last season, and the player decided to pursue his future at the same club, after a prolific last season.  He helped the club win the title, scoring 21 goals along the way.

The Chile international was bought by Manchester United from Universidad de Chile in 2012 had only one goal for the first team in a friendly match. He found a loan deal in place for him 6 months after he joined the team at Wigan Athletic, where he was a sub at the shock FA Cup final win against Manchester City. After his return to Manchester, David Moyes considered in his best interest to send the player to Real Zaragosa on loan, for yet another season, where he scored 6 goals in 20 matches for the Spanish side.

He was also a part of the Chile national squad which won the Copa America by defeating Argentina on penalties, where he came on as a substitute. The future looks bright for the young lad, and Manchester United have possibly let another future star off their hooks.
